since the dawn of humanity, peoples across the world have looked to the moon’s cycles to understand time, movement, and action. through her monthly cycle, the moon moves the waters of the oceans and the waters of our wombs. iyiniwak (Indigenous peoples) have always understood and looked to the moon’s cycles for guidance through seasonal changes, the movements of life, and the rhythms of our bodies.

the turtle’s shell reflects the lunar calendar, with 28 outer sections and 13 inner sections representing the moons of the solar year. these cycles are intimately connected with the feminine powers of creation, transition, release and transformation, yet are also deeply powerful as a form of cyclical self-care for anyone. the moon offers illumination in the dark, a reminder of the power of reflection.

ᒪᐢᑭᐦᑭᕀ maskihkiy wellness flows with these moon rhythms, sharing full moon and new moon blog posts to honor the cycles of release and renewal, rest and rejuvenation. 

the rhythms of the moon honor our needs for learning and growth, integration and quiet, creation and reflection. the wisdom of the moon cycles is ancient and helps guide our relationship with the Earth.

our okimâw, Dr. Karlee Fellner followed the moon cycles when sharing The Soul Medicine podcast. the podcast shares iyiniwak (Indigenous) perspectives on mental health, healing & wellness. alongside kihtehayak (Elders), knowledge carriers and maskihkiy team members, Dr. Fellner shares years of experience in the mental health and wellness fields, grounded in iyiniwak wisdom.
